Thirty-four Maryland health professionals referred for tutorial ethics education after being found to have crossed sexual boundaries with patients were studied. The presentation will describe demographic characteristics, violations specified in board orders, sanctions imposed, possible risk factors identified, and consequences for the respondents beyond the sanctions imposed. Incidence of recidivism and behavioral correlates of recidivism will be discussed. Recommendations will be made for determination of effective sanctions and for preventive education, with special attention to various patterns of compliance motivation as well as non-sexual boundary crossings that may be precursors of sexual boundary violations.
